I'd rather drive to Salford with a massive crash on the M62 that leaves you stuck there for 3 weeks, give up the ghost, walk the rest of the way, lose by 300 points, walk home, get run over on the hard shoulder, die, get home at 5am and have to got to work at 5.15....every week - than share with City.

Can they not re-develop Birch Lane?

Incidentally i'd rather both teams had seperate grounds, but why So against the idea?

How can you die, yet still get home and go to work?

Develop the project further? What is that supposed to mean. Surely we are at a point where we chose one and get cracking?

This is the council we're talking about here. "Get cracking" isn't a concept often seen in practice.

Indeed.
It just seems to be project group after project group with scheme refinment after scheme refinment.

It makes you want to jump in a JCB

Bugger the JCB. I'd be able to make a LOT more things happen VERY quickly.

Just need to borrow a tank.

Maybe there would be a chance if City moved in too. Indeed, that may be the only way we'll ever see a stadium development. And what chance of that?

I get the impression that option 2 is exactly what that is for.
A stadium used by two professional clubs all year round for two different sports is more likely to get the money.

I don't want an all seater stadium but I'd rather have that than no new stadium at all. This is our only chance IMO and we have to support it.

Too bloody right. Suggest writing to your councillors saying what a good idea this all is and that you'd vote for them if they supported it.

Typical politicians!

Dunno when the next local elections are but wouldn't be surprised if there were some next May.
